The Garage Lounge

At the Garage Lounge
Lounging and eating cake - hmmmm -
Never had beetroot in a cake before
Nice and chocolatey
Goes well with coffee.

Slightly odd eating cake from a board
Perched upon a sofa made for Victorian -
Or at least - Edwardian
Ladies to perch upon in their corset-tight clothes -
Perhaps a bustle to lift them forwards
As they lean towards the cake.

Then - I look up
And there's my Polish Sis
Standing in the doorway
Smiling in surprise.
We greet,
I put down my fork
Look longingly at this cake of beet
But am delighted at our meeting
For the second time this week.
